The State Fair.

The fair under the auspices of the State
Agricultural Society begins in few days
at Macon. Its attractions will be fully as
great, if of different kind, as those of the
exposition now in progress in Atlanta The
exposition is in a sense a local affair, prima-
rily intended to advertise Atlanta, and car
ried forward by private enterprise. This
does not detract from the value of its expo
sition of the resources of North Georgia and
other mineral producing regions, and the
benefit to the State must be large. The
State Fair, however, is far more representa-
tive of Georgia life and interests 1t is one
of series which began many years ago,
and its patron society has long been identi-
fed with the history of the State Some of
its officers have been among our most promi-
nent men.
The number of people in attendance this
year is expected to be much larger than
usual. The premiums offered have in many
cases been doubled, insuring the finest dis
play of agricultural products, cattle, horses,
etc, and railroad rates are very low. The
racing programme is extensive, and the
purses large enough to attract fast horses,
Another feature of the occasion which is
naturally arousing no little attention and
interest is the proposed reunion of Confed-
crate veterans, at which Mr.. Davis will be
present. Indications point to a large as
semblage of the men who followed Lee and
johnson, and though when the old fellows
get to talking about the experiences of
twenty-five years ago they may forget the
fair and everything else of contemporane-
Gus interest, they will go home happier for
having been in attendance.
This is the farmers and the soldiers fair,
and they will find it profitable and pleasant
to be present.

Is She Legally Deadp
From the Philadelphia Press.

The elopement from her parents house of
Elizabeth Polls, thirty-seven years ago. is
brought to the surface now by the petition of
her brother, Dr. George S. Polls residing at 461
North Fourth street, to be appointed admins
traitor OF the estate of his sister, deceased"
That Dr. Polls sister is deceased is a legal
fiction, as no evidence is at hand to prove the
death of Miss Polls, but because she has been
absent so long her relatives have at last given
divide among themselves the accumulation of a
legacy left to her by an aunt. and her share in
the estate left by her parents. AS they can do
this only after her death, they seek, through the
Intervention of Counsellor Thomas w. Barlow
and the Orphans Court, to have her death
judicialy determined.
Miss Polls lived from the time of her birth
1929, until 1850, with her parents the late George
S. and Deborah L. Polls, when she disappeared.
Her father was merchant, having his store
and residence at that time at 1923 South street
their Puritan forefathers, and on the disappear
ance of their daughter, refused even to speak of
her afterward in the presence of the other chill
dren, at that time half dozen in number. OF
those children there survive only DIR. George S.
Polls and Etella S. Polls, of this city, and Mrs
Ann Truitt, of Milford Del. Their recollection
of the circumstances of their sisters elopement
is of the dimmest kind, but they believe that
she had been thwarted in her desire to marry
when young, and had obeyed her parents until
she came of age, when, being her own mistress
who might have knowledge of the circumstances
have either died or moved out of reach of the
brother and sisters.
The court received the petition and decided to
hear evidence concerning the alleged absence,
the circumstances and its duration.

Tho Lady Retired.
From the 50. Paul Globe


Anent the visit OF Chief Justice Waite to st.
Paul some years ago and a stag party which
was given for his benefit by prominent citizen
am reminded of little incident in connection
with the party which is very good in its way.
The host, whose wife was in the East, thought
it becoming to invite, to sit at the end of the
dinner table. well-known society lady of those
days, now deceased. She came and did the
honors gracefully, but when she should have
retired and left the gentlemen to their wine she
manifested an intention to stay. The host was
perplexed, the guests annoyed and an awkward
scene was promised, when one of the gentle
men-a dignifed judge in demeanor and posi-
tion-furnished the key to the situation. He
saw the dilemma, cleared his throat and an
nounced an anecdote; Years ago." said
he, Il was waylaid with party of friends one
stormy night in a country town. Ii was hot,
our rooms disagreeable and the mosquitoes
vexatious. AT midnight we all arose, and in our
nightshirts went to the barroom. There we
shook dice matched dollars cut matches and
did everything else possible to pass away the
time. Finally we init on new scheme. All of
us stood up against the bar with our backs to it.
The bartender took the tail of each mans shirt
and tackled it to the top of the bar. To each tail
there was the same number of tacks and each
tackled in the same position. The idea then was
for all to pull away, and the man who got loose
last was to pay for the drinks We started. My
shirt" 1t was growing too hot in that room
for the lady. She fed without an adieu.

The Gar in Denmark

Of all the crowned and uncrowned princely
heads i'll the castle of Fredensborg, Zealand,
Denmark. none attracts so much attention as
the Car OF Russia. The unusual extension of
his sojourn in that secluded spot into the month
of October is easily understood If the fact is
known that it is the only place on earth where
the mighty ruler of the largest empire that now
self to go about and behave like other human
beings without the fear of nihiliStlc attacks
harassinF his mind. Although he has surround
ed his castle of Gatchina, near Petersburg with
walls and guards believed to be impregnable,
death from a murderer'S hand has several times
already stared him in the face in his very pri-
vate study in that palace. And whenever he
goes within his own empire things are
worse and more threatening than at
Gatchinal But at Fredonsborg his fear
leaves him, and he is familiar and human like
other men. The other day the whole family
circle-some three dozen in number-made an
vited his sster-in-law Princess Marie of Orleans,
to walk with him, and the couple actually trav-
eled the whole distance, some nine miles, and
enjoyed the walk. On their arrival they went
to the public restaurant at the depot, and had
their lunch by the side of a drummer, who was
not at all aware of the high rank of his table
companions All the children ofthe Princess
Danish Greek and English-are unanimous in
the opinion that the Car is their very best
uncle, and whenever they have a chance they
will crowd around him. The other day a few
birthday of their own queen Louise. They sung,
and the Gar, stepping into their midst joined
in the song. The Queen desired the song to be
repeated, when the Car placed himself in front
of the little ones, and, acting the director, beat
time to the children'S song.

A Faithful Public Servant.

The House, by vote of 80 to 25, has passed
Judge Harrell's bill repeating the resolu-
ton by which the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad was released from the pay
ment of nearly 100000 in bonds due the
State. This action of the House will meet
with the hearty approval of the
people. 1t remains to be seen whether the
Senate will prove itself to be equally indie
pendent of the influences which were so &C
lively and potently exerted to secure the
passage of the resolution which it is now
sought to have repealed, and which, without
any good reason, gives away to railroad
company, contrary to the provisions of the
constitution, nearly 100000 of the peoples
money.
Judge Harrell has been untiring in his
efforts to undo the wrong which was COM
mitted by the passage of this resolution,
and he deserves, and will receive, the thanks
of the people. The fight in the House for
his bill repeating the resolution was won by
the skill and vigor with which he conducted
it, and the persistence with which the right
thinking members chung to their convic-
tions. Now let the Senate do its duty in
the matter

A Postal Telegraph.

Mr.. Gould may have absorbed one rival
telegraph system too many. He would find
it embarrassing to have a competitor with
the governmental revenues to draw upon
for expenses. And if, TO avoid this, he
should desire to sell the Western Union
stock, it would be very painful to submit to
the awful pressure necessary to squeeze the
water out of that bloated evidence of prop
erty. Yet, some of the most influential
papers of the country are demanding that
Mr.. Gould be placed in just such dilemma.
They want the Federal government to make
the telegraph an adjunct of the postoffice.
If this were done, Mr.. Gould would be
obliged to sell at the valuation fixed by the
government, and it can be safely said that
ia fixing such valuation account would be
taken only of the actual cost of the Western
Union property.
The idea is not a new one, but interest in
it is revived just at this time by the adop-
tion by the Knights of Labor General AS
sembly of resolution favoring govern
meDt ownership of telegraphs, and by the
absorption of the Baltimore and Ohio by
the Western Union, leaving the latter
pTdCblCtu HlOHOpOiJ vi Inc lelu n SOOd
deal can be said in favor of it. The adop-
ton of a uniform low rate for Geographic
messages, as for letter carriage, would no
doubt greatly stimulate correspondence by
that means, and be a great aid to the bust
ness of the country. The rate for kilograms
might in time approach that now paid for
letters.
One objection has been urged to a gov
eminent control of telegraphs that to many
minds is conclusive-the great additional
power it would bestow on the party in Office
in the general government. The number of
place holders is now very large, but by this
plan many thousands would be added to the
number. As long as the idea of a non par
tisan civil service is not universally accepted
there is danger in increasing the number of
agents by which party in office may per-
petuate its power.
Others argue that State telegraph mo-
nopoly would mean after little while a
State monopoly of railroads, and long steps
would have been taken toward State social
ism.
The question is one which is likely to at
tract good deal of attention, but 1t is
hardly ready for solution yet. The people
have more urgent and more important mat
tiers to attend to.

Doing Away with Competition.

One of the favorite arguments OF advo-
Gates of the protection theory has always
been that, if foreign goods were barred out
by tariff taxes, the opportunity to make
large profits would induce so many to begin
manufacturing that in a short time
competition among them would
reduce the price of goods to about the same
as would have to be paid for foreign-made
articles of like kind and quality Some
protectionists have been bold enough to as
sert that such a state of things already ex-
lists, while at the same time demanding that
the present high tariff rates be maintained.
Such demand shows their inconsistency
and insincerity.
Not only has competition not reduced
prices of manufactured goods TO the worlds
level, but it has failed to bring them down
to their natural level in this country. And
the robber barons are determined that it
shall not do so. Having preached the doc
trine that competition would cheaper
until they got all the concessions they
wanted from the people, they are now en-
gagged in the business of killing off compe-
tition among themselves. They have asteel
association to limit the output of the mills,
a nail association to see that only so many
nails are cut, a glass association, a charcoal
iron association, and so on into the dozens,
perhaps.
The latest movement in this direction is
designed to put up the price of sugar. All
the refneries are to be put practically under
one management, and the pooling arrange
ment is to be called ''trust"-a term very
popular nowadays with associations of this
kind. The price of refined sugar will be
put as high as the high tariff will let it
go and still keep out foreign sugar,
and even if some of the refineries stand
idle the owners will get big returns from the
money invested in them. Every cent they
get under such circumstances will have
been unjustly taken from the people
There is stumbling block, however, in
the path of these conspirators, and one of the
protection organs talks about tquite frankly.
They are afraid that the formation of such
a trust would "attract attention" They
know it would make perfectly plain the
false pretenses of their position. Therefore,
it is said, the trust may be secret one, and
care be taken that the public be furnished
no evidence of it's existence. 1t is a shady
business, and has to be carried on in the
dark

President jackson and the Baby.

f. @. Carpenter an the October Cosmopolitan
Judge A. r. Boteler, now of the Attorney
Generals Office at Washington, was a boy at
Princeton College when President jackson made
his famous tour through the Eastern States in
1888. IL was taken shortly after his famous
notification decree, and the North went wild in
their adulation OF Old Hickory. Baltimore and
Philadelphia had received Jackson in grand
style and he was to pass through Princeton on
his way to New York. Judge Botelers eyes
now brighten as he tells how excited the college
boys were over Jackson's expected coming. and
they twinked as he told me how he, with sew
eral of his mates, ran away from Princeton the
night before and went to meet the President at
Trenton that they might accompany him to
Princeton. During the journey, the following
incident occurred, which give in Judge Bote-
lerS own words:
The people came in crowds from the sur
rounding country to see the Presidential party
pass by, and Gen. Jackson was uniformly kind
to all. He rode in q splendid four horse coach,
which was driven by Old Resides, the noted
stage owner, and Gen. Eaton. The Secretary of
War. sat beside jackson in the coach. About
midway in the Journey poor woman was seen
ont IN the fields alongside of the road hurryilg
toward the carriage. She had almost reached
the road when the carriages came up. The
coachmen were about to whip up their horses,
whea Jackson, seeing the woman, called out in
stentorian tones, HAITI
AS tho carriage stopped be said TO Eaton:
Don't you see that lady; she wishes to meet us
AT this moment the poor bareheaded wo-
man, with a little baby under her arm, had
ItttcueI tne renee. AS Sne craWled through
and stood looking anxiously from one face of
The party TO the other Gen. Jackson raised his
tall white hat and courteously said, Madam,
can we do anything for your
Rather abashed, the poor woman replied, 4
want to see the President
"At this jackson again raised his hat and
said I am he, and | am glad to know you
And Is that fine boy your baby? Let me have
him
The woman handed the dirty faced infant to
Old Hickory. Jackson took it, and held it up
before HIM
All! There is fine specimen of American
cnildhood, think, madam, your boy will make
a fine man some day
Then, with quick gesture, he put the dirty
race OF the infant close to the face of Secretary
Eaton, saying quickly and soberly, Eaton, kiss
him
Cen Eaton pretended to do so with a wry
race, amid the laughter of the crowd and Jack
son then handed the baby back to the happy
mother"
Judge Boteier once told this story to President
Hayes, and he prohted by it. There is no reason
why Secretaries Whitney, Fairchid and Endi-
colt should not render the same assistance to
President Cleveland.

Too MANY People.

The chief point of pride to a prosperous
American city is the rapidity with which
the number of its people increases. To the
greatest of all cities, London, some way to
check the rapid growth of its population is
now a serious problem. 1t is hard to realize
that there are concentrated in the English
capital almost as many people as live in
three average American States, and the
number increases rapidly. London is the
haven of the unemployed of England, and
among its 100000 inhabitants, there is
perhaps more dire poverty than anywhere
else in the word. Recent dispatches have
described the nightly scenes in Trafalgar
square, its wide expanse covered with the
wretched forms of men,, women and chill
dren, who find on its paving stones their
only sleeping place, no matter what the
weather. These people have reached the
lowest depth of poverty and wretchedness,
and thousands more are but degree higher
Their number is said to be rapidly increas-
ing, and the winter which has Just begun
will witness degree and extent of suffer-
ing which perhaps no former year has
equaled.
The English government must realize that
in the wretchedness of this great popula-
ton of homeless men it has around its
Parliament House a problem no less diff
cult of solution than the discomfort of the
people of Ireland. 1t is population used
to privation and to quiet submission to
laws made by classes they have been taught
for generations to believe better and wiser
than themselves, but the day may come
when, made desperate by suffering, they
will rival in London the scenes which max Q
lurid the history of the closing years of the
last century in Paris. Men will not quietly
starve to death.
Let the British government expend some
of its vast wealth in assisting emigration
from England as it has so long done from
Ireland. The English colonies in every part
of the world are in need of population, and
if planted in them thousands of the people
now starving in London would soon become
prosperous and happy citizens, strengthen
ing the empire instead of weakening it,
